Jeremiah, 42

1. And all the leaders of the warriors, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and the rest of the common people, from the least even to the greatest, drew near.

1. Nato svi vojni zapovjednici, osobito Johanan, sin Kareahov, i Azarja, sin Hošajin, i sav narod, malo i veliko, pristupiše

2. And they said to Jeremiah the prophet: “Let our supplication fall before your sight. And pray for us to the Lord your God, on behalf of this entire remnant. For few out of many have been left behind, just as your eyes behold us.

2. i rekoše proroku Jeremiji: "Pomno poèuj molbu našu! Zagovaraj nas pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, za sav ovaj ostatak, jer nas, kako i sam vidiš, ostade još samo malo od velikoga broja koliko nas je nekoæ bilo.

3. And so, may the Lord your God announce to us the way that we must travel, and the word that we must accomplish.”

3. Neka nam Jahve, Bog tvoj, objavi kuda da krenemo i što valja da èinimo."

4. Then Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them: “I have listened. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And whatever word he will respond to me, I will declare to you. And I will conceal nothing from you.”

4. Prorok im Jeremija odgovori: "Pristajem. Pomolit æu se, kao što rekoste, Jahvi, Bogu vašemu, i javit æu vam sve što on odgovori, ni rijeèi vam neæu zatajiti."

5. And they said to Jeremiah: “May the Lord be the witness between us of truth and fidelity, if we do not act according to whatever word the Lord your God will send by you to us.

5. Oni pak rekoše Jeremiji: "Neka Jahve bude istinit i vjerodostojan svjedok protiv nas ako ne postupimo sasvim po rijeèima koje æe nam Jahve, Bog tvoj, po tebi objaviti.

6. Whether it is for good or for harm, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you. So may it be well with us, when we heed the voice of the Lord our God.”

6. Bio povoljan ili nepovoljan glas Jahve, Boga našega, komu te šaljemo, mi æemo ga slušati da nam dobro bude što poslušasmo glas Jahve, Boga svojega."

7. Then, when ten days had been completed, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

7. Poslije deset dana doðe rijeè Jahvina Jeremiji.

8. And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of warriors who were with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest.

8. Tada on pozva Johanana, sina Kareahova, sve vojne zapovjednike koji bijahu s njim i sav narod, malo i veliko,

9. And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have sent me, so that I may present your petitions in his sight:

9. te im reèe: "Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov, kojemu ste me poslali da izlijem preda nj molbu vašu:

10. If you dwell quietly in this land, I will build you up, and I will not tear you down. I will plant you, and I will not uproot you. For now I have been appeased by the harm that I have done to you.

10. 'Ako budete mirno živjeli u zemlji ovoj, podiæi æu vas i neæu vas više razoriti; posadit æu vas, a ne iskorijeniti. Jer se kajem za zlo koje sam vam nanio.

11. Do not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you have dreaded with great fear. Do not dread him, says the Lord. For I am with you, so that I may accomplish your salvation, and so that I may rescue you from his hand.

11. Ne bojte se kralja babilonskoga od koga strahujete. Ne bojte ga se - rijeè je Jahvina - jer ja sam s vama da vas spasim i izbavim iz ruku njegovih.

12. And I will give you mercies, and I will take pity on you, and I will cause you to live in your own land.

12. I ja æu vam pribaviti milost da vam se smiluje i pusti vas da u zemlji svojoj živite.'

13. But if you say: ‘We will not live in this land, nor will we heed the voice of the Lord our God,’

13. Ako pak kažete: 'Neæemo ostati u ovoj zemlji', ne pokoravajuæi se glasu Jahve, Boga svoga,

14. saying: ‘Never! Instead, we will travel to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and we will not hear the blast of the trumpet, and we will not endure famine. And there we shall live.’

14. ako kažete: 'Ne, u Egipat idemo, rata više da ne vidimo, glasa bojnog roga više da ne èujemo, da ne moramo biti više gladni kruha; da, onamo idemo',

15. Because of this, hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces so as to advance into Egypt, and if you enter so that you may live there,

15. onda èujte rijeè Jahvinu, vi koji ste Ostatak Judeje: Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Ako ste odluèili krenuti u Egipat da ondje živite,

16. the sword which you dread will overtake you there, in the land of Egypt, and the famine, about which you are anxious, will cling to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.

16. maè kojega se plašite u zemlji æe vas egipatskoj dostiæi; glad od koje strahujete, u Egiptu æe vam biti za petama: i ondje æete umrijeti!

17. And all the men, who have set their faces so that they may advance to Egypt in order to live there, will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. None of them will remain, nor will they escape from the face of the evil that I will bring over them.

17. I svi oni koji odluèe da odu u Egipat i da se ondje nasele, poginut æe od maèa, gladi i kuge: nitko živ neæe umaæi nesreæi koju æu na njih svaliti.'

18. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Just as my fury and my indignation has been enflamed over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will my indignation be enflamed over you, when you will have entered into Egypt. And so you will be an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace. And you will never see this place again.

18. Jer ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Kao što se srdžba moja i bijes moj oboriše na Jeruzalemce, tako æe se gnjev moj izliti i na vas ako poðete u Egipat: postat æete prokletstvo, užas, kletva i poruga, a ovoga mjesta nikad više neæete ugledati.'

19. This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O remnant of Judah: Do not choose to enter into Egypt, for certainly you understand what I have sworn to you this day.

19. Vama, koji ste Ostatak Judeje, Jahve poruèuje da ne idete u Egipat. Dobro znajte da sam danas bio svjedok protiv vas.

20. For you have deceived your own souls. For you have sent me to the Lord our God, saying: ‘Pray on our behalf to the Lord our God. And in accord with anything whatsoever that the Lord our God will tell you, announce this to us, and we will do it.’

20. Jer sami sebe obmanjujete. TÓa vi ste me poslali k Jahvi, Bogu svome rekavši: 'Zagovaraj nas pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, i saopæi nam sve što ti on objavi, i mi æemo to uèiniti.'

21. And I have announced it to you this day, and you have not heeded the voice of the Lord your God, concerning everything about which he has sent me to you.

21. A danas sam vam objavio, ali vi ne slušate više glasa Jahve, Boga svojega, koji me k vama posla.

22. Therefore, know with certainty now, that you will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, in the place which you wish to enter so that you may live there.”

22. Znajte, dakle, dobro: od maèa, gladi i kuge poginut æete na mjestu kamo hoæete da odete da se ondje naselite."

42:1-6 - The remnant of Judah seeks Jeremiah's guidance, committing to obey God's word. Seeking God's guidance, even after so much destruction, symbolizes the search for restoration and understanding in times of crisis (see also James 1:5 and Psalm 34:4).

42:7-22 - God responds through Jeremiah, telling the people to stay in Judah and not flee to Egypt. This message reveals the principle of trusting God, even when the apparent solution seems to be fleeing from problems (see also Jeremiah 39:11-12 and Isaiah 55:8-9).

42:13-17 - God warns of the consequences of going to Egypt, where the people will face the sword, famine, and pestilence. Rejecting God's counsel leads to destruction, demonstrating that disobeying God in difficult times results in greater affliction (see also Deuteronomy 28:15 and Hebrews 10:26-27).

42:18-22 - God reaffirms that those who remain in Judah will be preserved, while those who go to Egypt will face condemnation. This shows that, even in extreme situations, obedience to God is the key to protection and salvation (see also Jeremiah 31:17 and Matthew 7:24-27).

Kapcsolódó versek Jeremiah, 42:

Jeremiah chapter 42 presents a crucial moment of decision for the remnant. Will they genuinely seek God’s will? This pivotal text recounts the people's request for divine guidance and God's response through Jeremiah. The chapter addresses topics such as the sincere search for divine guidance, the importance of obedience and the consequences of rebellion. Jeremiah 42 highlights the conflict between human and divine will. Consider with us five biblical passages that align with the eternal principles of this decisive chapter.

James 1:5-6: "If any of you lacks wisdom, ask God, who gives it to all freely and willingly; and it will be granted to you. But ask in faith, without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." - This passage reflects the attitude the people should have had when seeking guidance from God through Jeremiah in Jeremiah 42.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; acknowledge the Lord in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight." - These verses echo the advice implicit in Jeremiah 42 to trust God's guidance.

Deuteronomy 30:19-20: "Today I call heaven and earth to witness against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live, and so that you may love the Lord your God, hear his voice and hold fast to him. For your life and the length of your days depend on them." - This passage reflects the choice presented to the people in Jeremiah 42, between obeying God and remaining in the land or disobeying and going to Egypt.

Isaiah 30:1-2: "Woe to the rebellious children, declares the Lord, "who make plans that do not come from me; who make covenants without my approval, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me, who seek the protection of Pharaoh, who seek refuge in the shadow of Egypt."" - These verses echo Jeremiah's warning against seeking refuge in Egypt in Jeremiah 42.

Psalms 106:13-15: "But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his advice. In the desert they gave vent to their desires and in the wilderness they put God to the test. He granted them what they asked for, but sent them a deadly plague." - This passage reflects the attitude of the people in Jeremiah 42, who ask God for advice through Jeremiah, but are already determined to follow their own path.
